Independent Volume Control: Dual-control valve trims are what separate Delta showers from the competition. The top, smaller handle controls temperature, while the bottom, larger dial controls the water volume (flow rate). The distinct advantage to this is that you can set the temperature control to a temperature you like, and then leave it, turning the shower on and off each time with the volume control. You’ll never have to fuss with the temperature again.

Monitor: Delta Monitor showers feature pressure balance valve cartridges, which protect against sudden temperature or pressure changes to keep the water in the shower within a safe +/- 3°F. Monitor valves also feature a high-temperature limit stop that can be adjusted to suit your shower needs.

Touch Clean: Only Delta offers showers equipped with Touch Clean soft, rubber nubbins (spray holes) that allow you to easily wipe away calcium and lime build-up with the touch of a finger. This is particularly helpful for areas with hard water.

MultiChoice Valve: Flexibility is the big benefit of the MultiChoice Universal Valve. Once the MultiChoice rough is installed, future shower function upgrades or style changes can easily be made without altering the plumbing behind the wall.

Delta shower valve/faucet/trim/shower headInstallation was easy and adjusting the hot water max was easy. My only disappointment is that after I got it installed, the diverter in the filler spout leaks and lets water come out of the shower head as the tub is filling. I will have to remove the spout and see what's wrong. I have used delta faucets for years and will continue to do so

Good DealThis Delta unit is one of the few shower controls that allows one to adjust temperature and volume separately. It is a cleaver and well designed control with two levers in the single unit. The quality overall appears to be quite good, although the spiggot is made of thin plastic. Installation instructions were a little confusing to me but managable with a little patientce and re-reading. The price was very good. Priced less than most units which do not have the seperate volume and temperature controls. I have found Delta fixtures in the past to be reasonably priced and to have a good life span.

Chrome, beautiful quality, substantialEasy to operate. Heat setting doesn't have to change. You just adjust for volume. Our installer set the heat monitor to avoid scalding. Red and Blue on heat dial for visual clues to temperature choices. Spout design has curvature that is elegant and pull up on top of spout is substantial. Looks beautiful on our travertine.

Performs well for price, location and purposeWe selected Delta T17478 Double Handle Tub/Shower Set in the Stainless Steel finish (similar to brushed nickel) for the new tub/shower for 1937 era hall bath remodel. For our situation, this will be used 3-4 times per month. We have used it while our master bath is being remodeled, so we know it will be fine when our guests use it. Shower head puts out a very functional spray @ 2.5 and the head moves easily for directing the spray. The separate temperature adjust dial, though not very attractive, is nice and does respond well to even small adjustments.

Perfect againTore out bath tub walls and installed new faucet. Were using old ball style valve and wife liked that. I changed to new dual control style and all is good now. Particularly liked the way the tub spout fit. Would buy again.

love itThis is exactly what we were looking for - we love the temperature and volume control - helps us save water as well as have our temperature preference locked in! The aged bronze is a beautiful addition to our tan/brown stone tile and accents. We couldn't have chosen better!
